Canada, 1906. Fourteen-year-old Asta Gudmundsson has immigrated with her parents to an Icelandic farming and fishing community along the unspoiled shores of Lake Manitoba. There she meets Bjorn, the son of the local mill owner and they fall deeply in love. During a night of unspeakable violence, the pair make a silent pledge to never speak of it again. When Asta’s beloved sister Freyja goes missing, Asta embarks on a life-long journey to find her sister and bring her home. Seventy years later, while on her deathbed, Asta's spirit travels to the past and she finally discovers the truth of what happened on those fateful days that set the course for her life and the lives of everyone she loved.
